1
00:00:03,164 --> 00:00:05,464
You know,
downward-facing dog
2
00:00:05,466 --> 00:00:09,669
comes from the Sanskrit phrase
adho mukha shvanasana.
3
00:00:09,671 --> 00:00:11,704
Oh, that's beautiful.
What does it mean?
4
00:00:11,706 --> 00:00:14,273
"Downward-facing dog."
5
00:00:15,210 --> 00:00:16,909
Yeah, I guess they
don't have Sanskrit
6
00:00:16,911 --> 00:00:19,712
for "butts up and heads down."
7
00:00:19,714 --> 00:00:21,214
Hey, we wrote the Kama Sutra.
8
00:00:21,216 --> 00:00:23,783
If it involves butts,
there's a word for it.
9
00:00:24,819 --> 00:00:27,119
I thought we were getting
breakfast before work.
10
00:00:27,121 --> 00:00:28,654
Oh, right, sorry.
11
00:00:28,656 --> 00:00:30,656
It's my fault. I asked
Penny to do yoga with me.
12
00:00:30,658 --> 00:00:32,758
If you want, I can get
ready in five minutes.
13
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:34,861
(chuckles)
It's cute that you think that.
14
00:00:34,863 --> 00:00:37,163
Don't worry about it.
15
00:00:37,165 --> 00:00:38,164
Hey, can I ask you a favor?
16
00:00:38,166 --> 00:00:39,532
Would you mind taking
Cinnamon for a walk?
17
00:00:39,534 --> 00:00:41,400
Sure.
You're living here for free.
18
00:00:41,402 --> 00:00:42,668
I guess I owe you.
19
00:00:44,405 --> 00:00:46,372
Bye, Cinnamon.
Be a good girl.
20
00:00:46,374 --> 00:00:48,241
Yeah, bye, sweetie!
Bye!
21
00:00:48,243 --> 00:00:49,942
Yeah, yeah, bye, Leonard.
(chuckles)
22
00:00:51,145 --> 00:00:55,314
Okay, and tree pose.
23
00:00:57,085 --> 00:01:00,152

visit xxxstory.tk for erotic stories
34
00:01:30,419 --> 00:01:32,385
Things have been going
really well
35
00:01:32,387 --> 00:01:34,588
with the infinite
resistance gyroscope.
36
00:01:34,590 --> 00:01:36,523
That's great. How so?
37
00:01:36,525 --> 00:01:38,058
Oh, the project is classified.
38
00:01:38,060 --> 00:01:39,159
I can't tell you.
39
00:01:39,161 --> 00:01:43,330
Oh, I suppose I could redact
the classified parts.
40
00:01:43,332 --> 00:01:47,267
All right, um, I came up
with an elegant solution
41
00:01:47,269 --> 00:01:50,637
to the... (speaks indistinctly)
(horn honks)
42
00:01:50,639 --> 00:01:51,871
I used the...
43
00:01:51,873 --> 00:01:53,840
(speaks indistinctly)
(horn honks)
44
00:01:53,842 --> 00:01:57,110
And then I... (speaking indistinctly)
(horn honking)
45
00:02:00,015 --> 00:02:01,781
And that did it.
46
00:02:01,783 --> 00:02:04,184
(horn honking)
47
00:02:04,186 --> 00:02:06,686
Wow, I wonder
what they're redacting.
48
00:02:07,990 --> 00:02:10,223
Why don't you ask me
what I'm working on?
49
00:02:10,225 --> 00:02:13,360
Oh, very well.
What have you been working on?
50
00:02:13,362 --> 00:02:15,729
And feel free to honk
during the boring parts.
51
00:02:16,565 --> 00:02:18,298
I'm doing some experiments
to show
52
00:02:18,300 --> 00:02:20,133
that the signal
to move a muscle occurs
53
00:02:20,135 --> 00:02:22,269
before you know
you even decided to move it.
54
00:02:22,271 --> 00:02:24,638
W... So you're attempting
to pinpoint
55
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:27,340
where consciousness resides
in the brain.
56
00:02:27,342 --> 00:02:29,676
Yes, I'm trying to figure out
the nanometer
57
00:02:29,678 --> 00:02:32,112
and the attosecond,
precisely where and when
58
00:02:32,114 --> 00:02:33,880
an event of awareness
takes place.
59
00:02:33,882 --> 00:02:36,416
Well, what do you know?
60
00:02:36,418 --> 00:02:38,918
Here I was, waiting
to be bored with biology,
61
00:02:38,920 --> 00:02:41,788
and instead you tickle
my intellectual fancy.
62
00:02:41,790 --> 00:02:45,292
Which, unlike my body,
is an okay place to tickle.
63
00:02:46,762 --> 00:02:48,194
You know, when I was six,
64
00:02:48,196 --> 00:02:50,964
I wanted to marry the gorilla
from Good Night, Gorilla.
65
00:02:52,267 --> 00:02:53,867
Maybe I was onto something.
66
00:02:56,305 --> 00:02:59,339
Gentlemen,
the most interesting thing
67
00:02:59,341 --> 00:03:01,074
just happened with this spoon.
68
00:03:01,076 --> 00:03:03,977
Unless it was singing
"Be Our Guest," I doubt it.
69
00:03:06,048 --> 00:03:08,014
Yeah, I picked it up
without thinking about it.
70
00:03:08,016 --> 00:03:10,216
Which raises a
neuroscientific question,
71
00:03:10,218 --> 00:03:12,519
when did I decide
to pick it up?
72
00:03:12,521 --> 00:03:14,921
The bigger question is, what are
you gonna eat with that spoon?
73
00:03:14,923 --> 00:03:17,357
You didn't get any food.
74
00:03:18,193 --> 00:03:20,260
He does raise
an interesting point.
75
00:03:20,262 --> 00:03:23,830
Amy is studying the time lag
between intent and awareness,
76
00:03:23,832 --> 00:03:25,231
and I realized
that applies
77
00:03:25,233 --> 00:03:27,367
to the measurement problem
in quantum mechanics.
78
00:03:27,369 --> 00:03:29,769
Now, I recognize there
will be a time lag
79
00:03:29,771 --> 00:03:32,038
between me saying that and
you Googling what it means,
80
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,273
so I'll wait.
81
00:03:34,509 --> 00:03:36,376
I understand it, Sheldon.
82
00:03:36,378 --> 00:03:38,011
Yeah, me, too.
83
00:03:38,013 --> 00:03:39,145
I'm sorry, I spaced.
84
00:03:39,147 --> 00:03:41,614
Are we still talking
about the spoon?
85
00:03:42,551 --> 00:03:44,284
It's nice to see you
taking an interest
86
00:03:44,286 --> 00:03:45,352
in Amy's work.
87
00:03:45,354 --> 00:03:46,619
Well, don't get me wrong.
88
00:03:46,621 --> 00:03:48,555
Neurobiology's nothing more
than the science
89
00:03:48,557 --> 00:03:49,889
of gray squishy stuff.
90
00:03:49,891 --> 00:03:51,958
But, you know,
when it connects to physics,
91
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,627
gas up the Ford, Martha,
we're going for a drive.
92
00:03:58,166 --> 00:04:00,100
So did you
confront Jennifer?
93
00:04:00,102 --> 00:04:01,634
I was going to,
but she called in sick.
94
00:04:01,636 --> 00:04:03,303
And guess who else
called in sick.
95
00:04:03,305 --> 00:04:04,537
Paul.
Paul.
96
00:04:04,539 --> 00:04:06,272
Who's Paul?
97
00:04:06,274 --> 00:04:08,274
Oh, you met him at the
office Christmas party.
98
00:04:08,276 --> 00:04:09,142
He's married to Nancy.
99
00:04:09,144 --> 00:04:11,945
Oh, sure.
Wait, Nancy?
100
00:04:11,947 --> 00:04:13,947
I bet Jennifer gets
a promotion out of this,
101
00:04:13,949 --> 00:04:16,449
which is so unfair because I
work twice as hard as she does.
102
00:04:16,451 --> 00:04:18,118
Don't worry,
Jerry won't be fooled
103
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,353
by that type of behavior.
104
00:04:23,658 --> 00:04:25,892
Jerry?
105
00:04:25,894 --> 00:04:28,928
It didn't work for Randy,
it didn't work for Tina,
106
00:04:28,930 --> 00:04:30,830
it sure as hell isn't
gonna work for Jennifer.
107
00:04:30,832 --> 00:04:33,032
Well, I hope not.
I just hate when
108
00:04:33,034 --> 00:04:34,734
people play
those kinds of games.
109
00:04:36,004 --> 00:04:37,337
Tina?
110
00:04:37,339 --> 00:04:40,407
With your sales record,
you have nothing to worry about.
111
00:04:40,409 --> 00:04:42,108
Mm.
112
00:04:42,110 --> 00:04:45,879
I went to your office
Christmas party?
113
00:04:48,683 --> 00:04:51,518
You know, I like harp lessons,
114
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,954
but I'm thinking of switching
to elevator repair lessons.
115
00:04:56,691 --> 00:04:57,624
What are you working on?
116
00:04:57,626 --> 00:05:00,326
I was thinking about
your experiment
117
00:05:00,328 --> 00:05:02,262
on the neuroscience
of decision making,
118
00:05:02,264 --> 00:05:03,596
and I realized,
119
00:05:03,598 --> 00:05:05,632
if we connect it
to the measurement problem
120
00:05:05,634 --> 00:05:07,600
in quantum mechanics,
we have a chance
121
00:05:07,602 --> 00:05:09,235
to disprove the role
of consciousness
122
00:05:09,237 --> 00:05:11,171
in the Copenhagen
Interpretation.
123
00:05:11,173 --> 00:05:14,507
Wait, are you saying if
we combine my experiment
124
00:05:14,509 --> 00:05:15,708
with your calculations,
125
00:05:15,710 --> 00:05:17,777
we can determine
the precise moment in time
126
00:05:17,779 --> 00:05:19,646
when the wave function
collapses?
127
00:05:19,648 --> 00:05:21,481
It could be the most
inspired combination
128
00:05:21,483 --> 00:05:23,550
since I mixed red Icee
into my blue Icee.
129
00:05:26,621 --> 00:05:28,755
It was like drinking
2/7 of the rainbow.
130
00:05:30,725 --> 00:05:32,025
Sheldon, this is
really interesting.
131
00:05:32,027 --> 00:05:35,328
Yeah, and this one won't
stain my teeth purple.
132
00:05:35,330 --> 00:05:37,130
You know, we've never
collaborated
133
00:05:37,132 --> 00:05:38,598
professionally before.
134
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,600
Are you worried it might
affect our relationship?
135
00:05:40,602 --> 00:05:42,836
That is a valid point.
136
00:05:42,838 --> 00:05:45,371
Perhaps we should establish
some ground rules.
137
00:05:45,373 --> 00:05:46,840
Well, that would
make me feel better.
138
00:05:46,842 --> 00:05:47,941
All right, let's
start right now.
139
00:05:47,943 --> 00:05:50,710
Uh, rule number one,
no using sexuality
140
00:05:50,712 --> 00:05:52,579
to get your way.
141
00:05:53,648 --> 00:05:55,281
That's a ridiculous rule.
142
00:05:55,283 --> 00:05:57,083
Is it?
143
00:06:03,525 --> 00:06:06,259
Okay, how is that?
144
00:06:11,933 --> 00:06:13,600
I can actually feel the toxins
145
00:06:13,602 --> 00:06:16,302
being pulled out of my skin.
146
00:06:16,304 --> 00:06:19,138
Well, this is
a moisturizing mask.
147
00:06:19,140 --> 00:06:21,407
Oh, well, then I can
actually feel
148
00:06:21,409 --> 00:06:25,111
the moisture going into my skin.
149
00:06:25,113 --> 00:06:26,379
Hey, I hope you don't mind,
I used a little
150
00:06:26,381 --> 00:06:27,814
of your eye cream
last night.
151
00:06:27,816 --> 00:06:30,350
I thought someone looked
brighter and tighter.
152
00:06:36,258 --> 00:06:39,025
I'd still like to know
who Jerry is.
153
00:06:39,027 --> 00:06:40,693
Don't worry about it.
Hey, after this,
154
00:06:40,695 --> 00:06:42,395
how about we all go out
and do something together?
155
00:06:42,397 --> 00:06:44,764
That would be great.
Thank you.
156
00:06:44,766 --> 00:06:46,065
You want to go shopping?
157
00:06:46,067 --> 00:06:48,401
Ooh, yes. Fun.
158
00:06:48,403 --> 00:06:50,136
Or we could do something
we'll all enjoy,
159
00:06:50,138 --> 00:06:51,571
like play a board game.

Oh, good.
172

What are they?
Okay, uh,
173
00:07:34,516 --> 00:07:36,416
number one:
in matters of physics,
174
00:07:36,418 --> 00:07:38,017
I have the final say.
175
00:07:38,019 --> 00:07:41,054
In matters of neuroscience,
you have the final say.
176
00:07:41,056 --> 00:07:42,322
Unless I disagree.
177
00:07:42,324 --> 00:07:44,524
Oh, here.
178
00:07:44,526 --> 00:07:47,627
Number two: when we publish,
my name goes first.
179
00:07:47,629 --> 00:07:50,697
Oh, subsequently, if we win any
awards, I speak first.
180
00:07:50,699 --> 00:07:53,299
I don't want to be talking when
the orchestra plays us off.
181
00:07:53,301 --> 00:07:55,568
Can I see that?
182
00:07:55,570 --> 00:07:57,070
Oh, of course.
183
00:08:02,744 --> 00:08:05,311
I'll get that back.
184
00:08:05,313 --> 00:08:06,946
Like all my underwear,
that notebook says
185
00:08:06,948 --> 00:08:09,048
"Property of Sheldon Cooper."
186
00:08:09,050 --> 00:08:11,784
Sheldon, if we're
gonna have ground rules,
187
00:08:11,786 --> 00:08:13,219
I'll tell you
the first ground rule--
188
00:08:13,221 --> 00:08:14,554
I make the ground rules.
189
00:08:14,556 --> 00:08:17,390
I'd write that down,
but I can't now, can I?
190
00:08:21,096 --> 00:08:23,296
I mean, they didn't
say anything,
191
00:08:23,298 --> 00:08:24,797
but I just kind of
felt like I was being
192
00:08:24,799 --> 00:08:26,265
a weird third wheel.
193
00:08:26,267 --> 00:08:29,869
Huh, so you can tell
what that feels like.
194
00:08:29,871 --> 00:08:31,371
Interesting.
195
00:08:32,641 --> 00:08:35,041
Anyway, I figured I can
hang out with my friends
196
00:08:35,043 --> 00:08:36,509
and have fun, too.
197
00:08:36,511 --> 00:08:39,212
Well, if your idea of fun
is riding in a minivan
198
00:08:39,214 --> 00:08:40,279
to Target for diapers,
199
00:08:40,281 --> 00:08:42,348
things are about
to get nuts.
200
00:08:43,685 --> 00:08:45,518
Oh, it's just nice
to be with people
201
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,086
who are happy to have me around.
202
00:08:47,088 --> 00:08:48,888
Isn't that right, Halley?
203
00:08:48,890 --> 00:08:51,190
(Halley crying)
204
00:08:52,227 --> 00:08:54,827
Well, at least someone had
the courage to say it.
205
00:08:57,265 --> 00:08:59,499
Thank you, you are
a good citizen.
206
00:08:59,501 --> 00:09:01,768
Told you.
207
00:09:02,904 --> 00:09:04,270
Go ahead, throw
my underwear out the window.
208
00:09:04,272 --> 00:09:05,438
Same thing's gonna happen.
209
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,840
Terrific.
210
00:09:07,842 --> 00:09:09,375
Do you want to hear our
new set of ground rules?
211
00:09:09,377 --> 00:09:10,643
Fire away.
212
00:09:10,645 --> 00:09:13,813
Number one:
we're on the same team,
213
00:09:13,815 --> 00:09:15,048
we're not in competition.
214
00:09:15,050 --> 00:09:18,985
That's smart, because
Sheldon: 1, Amy: 0.
215
00:09:20,155 --> 00:09:23,022
Number two: disagreements
can happen politely.
216
00:09:23,024 --> 00:09:25,625
There's no need
to call an idea stupid.
217
00:09:25,627 --> 00:09:29,095
Aw, someone drew
a penis in it.
218
00:09:30,198 --> 00:09:32,131
Are you listening?
219
00:09:32,133 --> 00:09:33,499
I'm sorry,
go ahead.
220
00:09:33,501 --> 00:09:34,701
Number three.
221
00:09:34,703 --> 00:09:37,336
To avoid getting frustrated,
we take built-in breaks
222
00:09:37,338 --> 00:09:39,672
and reward our successes
with a small treat.
223
00:09:39,674 --> 00:09:41,274
Ooh, that sounds fun.
224
00:09:41,276 --> 00:09:43,176
Now, we're talking about
real treats, right?
225
00:09:43,178 --> 00:09:46,546
Not Bible verses like my
mother used to give me.
226
00:09:46,548 --> 00:09:48,915
Whatever you want.
227
00:09:48,917 --> 00:09:51,350
So, shall we get to work?
228
00:09:51,352 --> 00:09:53,486
Biology and physics
coming together--
229
00:09:53,488 --> 00:09:56,355
this is like the peanut
butter cup of the mind.
230
00:09:56,357 --> 00:09:58,925
Oh, I know what I
want my treat to be!

Yes, this is remarkable.
247
00:10:48,143 --> 00:10:50,943
So we're agreed:
it's complete garbage.
248
00:10:53,848 --> 00:10:55,648
By the way,
your name can go first.
249
00:11:05,688 --> 00:11:07,598
I mean, I'm glad
they're getting along,
250
00:11:07,599 --> 00:11:09,466
but it's starting to
make me uncomfortable.
251
00:11:09,468 --> 00:11:11,868
Well, are you worried he's
like another man in her life?
252
00:11:11,870 --> 00:11:14,838
A little, until I saw them
in matching tops, so...
253
00:11:16,341 --> 00:11:18,642
Nice. 174 diapers.
254
00:11:18,644 --> 00:11:20,844
That ought
to get us to Wednesday.
255
00:11:22,714 --> 00:11:24,481
Well, have you talked
to them about it?
256
00:11:24,483 --> 00:11:26,149
Well, what am I
supposed to say--
257
00:11:26,151 --> 00:11:27,717
"Stop having fun without me"?
258
00:11:27,719 --> 00:11:30,387
This one says that
every time I go out.
259
00:11:31,023 --> 00:11:33,023
See? I listen to you.
260
00:11:34,893 --> 00:11:37,494
Look, Raj just
gets along with women.
261
00:11:37,496 --> 00:11:38,695
I-I know,
262
00:11:38,697 --> 00:11:40,230
but he was my friend first.
263
00:11:40,232 --> 00:11:41,665
It's like she's stealing him
264
00:11:41,667 --> 00:11:43,300
and they're just
having the best time
265
00:11:43,302 --> 00:11:46,169
doing all their dumb
girly stuff together.
266
00:11:46,171 --> 00:11:47,337
You sure you don't fit in?
267
00:11:47,339 --> 00:11:49,573
You sound like
a catty bitch to me.
268
00:11:55,514 --> 00:11:57,180
I don't know where
we went wrong.
269
00:11:57,182 --> 00:11:59,649
Yeah, the math is so inelegant.
270
00:11:59,651 --> 00:12:02,752
I'm not even sure
it makes sense.
271
00:12:02,754 --> 00:12:05,322
Well, don't give up.
Maybe we can fix it.
272
00:12:11,063 --> 00:12:13,063
Can you stop breathing
so loud?
273
00:12:13,065 --> 00:12:16,199
I can hear your nose
whistling.
274
00:12:16,201 --> 00:12:19,336
I can hear your face
talking, so we're even.
275
00:12:24,576 --> 00:12:27,310
All right,
either blow your nose
276
00:12:27,312 --> 00:12:29,012
or teach it to play
"Camptown Races."
277
00:12:30,549 --> 00:12:32,782
Fine. Fine.
You want me to blow my nose?
278
00:12:32,784 --> 00:12:34,084
Here, I'll blow it.
279
00:12:34,086 --> 00:12:37,320
(nose blowing aggressively)
280
00:12:39,925 --> 00:12:41,291
Better?
281
00:12:41,293 --> 00:12:43,627
No, I can still hear it.
282
00:12:43,629 --> 00:12:46,463
Oh, wait, that's me.
Never mind, it's fine.
283
00:12:46,465 --> 00:12:47,697
You know, you're
exhausting.
284
00:12:47,699 --> 00:12:49,432
I knew working together
was a bad idea.
285
00:12:49,434 --> 00:12:51,168
Hold on.
286
00:12:51,170 --> 00:12:54,137
I see what's wrong here.
We did the propagation only to
287
00:12:54,139 --> 00:12:56,773
the occipital lobe, not
to the prefrontal cortex.
288
00:12:56,775 --> 00:13:00,310
That would mean that
this delayed parameter
289
00:13:00,312 --> 00:13:03,446
should be increased
250 milliseconds.
290
00:13:03,448 --> 00:13:05,982
Oh, that is much better.
291
00:13:05,984 --> 00:13:08,585
Yeah, boy, if good ideas
came out of your brain the way
292
00:13:08,587 --> 00:13:10,754
mucus comes out of your nose,
we'd be in good shape.
293
00:13:14,993 --> 00:13:17,794
Now, take a sip,
294
00:13:17,796 --> 00:13:19,663
swirl it around
your mouth,
295
00:13:19,665 --> 00:13:21,464
and try to notice
the flavors,
296
00:13:21,466 --> 00:13:24,801
the tannins,
the textures.
297
00:13:27,539 --> 00:13:28,538
Well?
298
00:13:28,540 --> 00:13:30,340
I probably should have
299
00:13:30,342 --> 00:13:32,576
spit out my gum first.
300
00:13:32,578 --> 00:13:36,746
(both laugh)
301
00:13:36,748 --> 00:13:39,115
Yeah. You know,
302
00:13:39,117 --> 00:13:40,951
the last couple of weeks
have been pretty rough,
303
00:13:40,953 --> 00:13:42,319
but, uh, staying
here with you guys
304
00:13:42,321 --> 00:13:43,927
has really helped take
my mind off of it.
305
00:13:43,951 --> 00:13:44,655
Mm. Well,
306
00:13:44,656 --> 00:13:46,790
we've loved having you around.
Right, sweetie?
307
00:13:49,261 --> 00:13:50,827
Leonard?
308
00:13:50,829 --> 00:13:52,629
Yeah, when
did he leave?
309
00:13:52,631 --> 00:13:54,998
Yeah, that's rude.
310
00:13:57,135 --> 00:13:59,502
You know, it's nice
to spend time with people
311
00:13:59,504 --> 00:14:03,106
who don't talk about work like
it's some kind of soap opera.
312
00:14:03,108 --> 00:14:06,042
Jennifer still trying
to sleep her way to the top?
313
00:14:07,913 --> 00:14:09,779
Yeah.
314
00:14:09,781 --> 00:14:13,116
You should be happy someone
wants to do the stuff with Penny
315
00:14:13,118 --> 00:14:14,351
you don't want to.
316
00:14:14,353 --> 00:14:16,080
Yeah, I wish I had that
with Howard.
317
00:14:16,104 --> 00:14:16,921
Wait.
318
00:14:16,922 --> 00:14:19,389
What? What do I make you do?
319
00:14:19,391 --> 00:14:21,291
Let's see:
the magic store,
320
00:14:21,293 --> 00:14:22,826
the Doctor Who
convention,
321
00:14:22,828 --> 00:14:26,029
the National Belt Buckle
Collector's meet and greet.
322
00:14:26,031 --> 00:14:29,132
It said right there
on the invitation,
323
00:14:29,134 --> 00:14:30,233
"Buckle up for fun."
324
00:14:30,235 --> 00:14:31,935
It's not my fault
you didn't listen.
325
00:14:33,538 --> 00:14:35,872
I'm sure I'm overreacting.
326
00:14:35,874 --> 00:14:37,874
You're entitled
to feel how you feel.
327
00:14:37,876 --> 00:14:40,076
If you don't like it,
you should just talk to her.
328
00:14:40,078 --> 00:14:42,445
I don't want to sound
like a jealous baby.
329
00:14:42,447 --> 00:14:45,282
Oh, then maybe
you shouldn't talk to her.
330
00:14:47,552 --> 00:14:48,685
You know, I
had a feeling
331
00:14:48,687 --> 00:14:50,287
you were using the wrong
computational model,
332
00:14:50,289 --> 00:14:52,455
but I didn't say anything
'cause you're so sensitive.
333
00:14:52,457 --> 00:14:54,124
(grunts) Just because
I am easily bothered
334
00:14:54,126 --> 00:14:56,559
by light, heat, sound, smell
and the way birds look at me
335
00:14:56,561 --> 00:14:57,861
does not mean
I'm sensitive!
336
00:15:00,132 --> 00:15:01,598
Hey,
337
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,100
I wonder what kind of success
we'd have
338
00:15:04,102 --> 00:15:07,237
if we defined measurement
as the first moment
339
00:15:07,239 --> 00:15:09,973
that an action potential
is seen by the visual cortex.
340
00:15:09,975 --> 00:15:13,943
(gasps) That is a daring
and insightful solution.
341
00:15:13,945 --> 00:15:15,478
We're finally making progress.
342
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,314
I wish we could do it
without fighting.
343
00:15:17,316 --> 00:15:21,318
What if the fighting is the
reason we're making progress?
344
00:15:22,521 --> 00:15:25,422
I suppose it's conceivable
that the hormones associated
345
00:15:25,424 --> 00:15:27,324
with our fight-or-flight
response
346
00:15:27,326 --> 00:15:29,793
could be sharpening
our cognitive processes.
347
00:15:29,795 --> 00:15:31,861
Well, if that's the case,
348
00:15:31,863 --> 00:15:35,765
then your grandparents mumble
and have bad posture.
349
00:15:37,536 --> 00:15:39,669
How dare you speak that way
about my Grammy--
350
00:15:39,671 --> 00:15:41,304
hey, wait a second. Wait.
351
00:15:44,376 --> 00:15:48,478
Delta "T" could equal
alpha sub-zero.
352
00:15:49,247 --> 00:15:52,816
It seems we have
a choice to make.
353
00:15:52,818 --> 00:15:56,353
Abandon all ground rules
in the name of science,
354
00:15:56,355 --> 00:16:00,590
or... give up collaborating for
the sake of our relationship.
355
00:16:00,592 --> 00:16:03,860
There's only one
clear choice.
356
00:16:03,862 --> 00:16:06,663
Science it is.
No, you bonehead!
357
00:16:06,665 --> 00:16:09,132
Name-calling,
that is perfect.
358
00:16:09,134 --> 00:16:10,767
Now, when I get
to this equation here,
359
00:16:10,769 --> 00:16:12,102
really let me have it.
You know?
360
00:16:12,104 --> 00:16:14,104
I-If it helps,
I'm not the sharpest dresser.
361
00:16:17,609 --> 00:16:21,411
Anyway, I know it's silly,
but since Raj moved in,
362
00:16:21,413 --> 00:16:23,380
I've been feeling
a little left out.
363
00:16:26,218 --> 00:16:29,753
Well, sweetie,
that's crazy.
364
00:16:29,755 --> 00:16:31,921
No, no, Penny,
don't dismiss his feelings.
365
00:16:31,923 --> 00:16:32,856
Thank you. I just feel...
366
00:16:32,858 --> 00:16:34,657
Hang on,
I'm not saying
367
00:16:34,659 --> 00:16:36,326
that his feelings
aren't crazy.
368
00:16:36,328 --> 00:16:37,994
I just don't want him
to think that
369
00:16:37,996 --> 00:16:39,329
this isn't
a safe place.
370
00:16:39,331 --> 00:16:40,597
Well, to be truthful...
371
00:16:40,599 --> 00:16:41,965
PENNY: Well, why wouldn't
this be a safe place? I mean,
372
00:16:41,967 --> 00:16:44,100
he's surrounded by his wife
and one of his best friends.
373
00:16:44,102 --> 00:16:45,602
I don't want to
speak for Leonard.
374
00:16:45,604 --> 00:16:46,636
Thank you. I...
375
00:16:46,638 --> 00:16:47,637
But when
you're insecure,
376
00:16:47,639 --> 00:16:49,239
no amount
of external validation
377
00:16:49,241 --> 00:16:51,431
can ever make you
feel safe.
378
00:16:51,455 --> 00:16:53,209
Yeah, you're right. You know,
you're really sensitive
379
00:16:53,211 --> 00:16:54,811
about this
kind of stuff.
380
00:16:54,813 --> 00:16:57,747
I'm a good listener.
(chuckles) Yeah.
381
00:16:57,749 --> 00:16:59,516
Hey, Olsen twins...
382
00:17:01,353 --> 00:17:02,485
What?
383
00:17:02,487 --> 00:17:04,921
Well, I-I mean, I'm
sitting right here.
384
00:17:04,923 --> 00:17:06,289
You're talking about my feelings
385
00:17:06,291 --> 00:17:08,558
and somehow leaving me
out of the conversation.
386
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,927
I'm sorry.
What did you want to say?
387
00:17:10,929 --> 00:17:13,997
I don't know,
you pretty much covered it.
388
00:17:13,999 --> 00:17:17,267
♪ So happy together. ♪
389
00:17:21,540 --> 00:17:23,139

00:17:24,913 --> 00:17:27,280

read them back?

Excellent. Excellent.
394
00:17:36,224 --> 00:17:38,892

you're going down, punk.

Yeah, that list is strong.
406
00:18:10,229 --> 00:18:13,297
Like your mother's urge
to be promiscuous with sailors.
